The New York Times stated, "Miller uses licentious sex scenes to set the stage for his philosophical discussions of self, love, marriage and happiness." [3] Mailer, Norman.

Santa Barbara, CA: Capra Press, 1981. ISBN 0-88496-166-4 In addition to his literary abilities, Miller produced numerous watercolor paintings and wrote books on this field. He was a close friend of the French painter Grégoire Michonze. It is estimated that Miller painted 2,000 watercolors during his life, and that 50 or more major collections of Miller's paintings exist. [66] The Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin holds a selection of Miller's watercolors, [67] as did the Henry Miller Museum of Art in Ōmachi City in Nagano, Japan, before closing in 2001.

Miller's first two works, Tropic of Cancer (Paris, 1934) and Tropic of Capricorn (Paris, 1939), were denied publication in the U.S. until the early 1960s because of alleged obscenity.

Young, Noel, editor. The Paintings of Henry Miller: Paint as You Like and Die Happy, Santa Barbara, CA: Capra Press, 1982. ISBN 0-87701-280-6 Sexus is the first volume of the scandalous trilogy The Rosy Crucifixion, Henry Miller's major life work I have to also point out to any potential buyer - and this is the main reason I wrote this review - that this particular edition of The Rosy Crucifixion is a terrible pressing. Typographical errors are rife throughout, and the text is very carelessly put together. The book itself is over-sized, and thus not comfortable to carry around. It is not bus or plane material, unless you work out your forearms beforehand.

In other works written during his time in California, Miller was widely critical of consumerism in America, as reflected in Sunday After the War (1944) and The Air-Conditioned Nightmare (1945). His Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymus Bosch, published in 1957, is a collection of stories about his life and friends in Big Sur.
